Some of you may remember before the tracklisting for What about Now was released we had found some of the titles early on ASCAP (Room at the end of the world, Pictures of You, Thick as Thieves) along with a title that never made the record, Burn with me.
I did some digging around, it was given to a girl named Juliet Simms. The weird thing is she says "Here’s a demo of a song I did about a year ago with John Shanks. Co-written by Shanks and Jon Bon Jovi! Hope you like!" ASCAP had Richie's name attached, why would his name be taken off? Makes you wonder if his name was just added to the songs for royalty reasons. I remember the single for What About Now said "Produced by John Shanks and Jon Bon Jovi" on the back, strange considering Richie "co-produced" the entire album.
